Andrew MacKenzie.Much loved and much wanted 2nd son of Lindsey and John and baby brother of Robbie
and much loved grandson to Andy and Moira Adams,Annie and Donald MacKenzie and Ronnie and Nell
Mackenzie.Born too early on 6th Jan 2008, lived for 12 precious minutes.
We found out at the 20 week scan that he had a serious heart condition called hypoplastic left heart
syndrome(HLHS)which basically meant Andrew only had half a heart.We decided to carry on with the
pregnancy and hoped that surgery could maybe help.4 weeks later on New Years Eve,we found out that
he also had a genetic condition called DiGeorge syndrome,which can cause problems with any organ in
the body,facial deformities,behavioural probs,learning difficulties and psychiatric problems.It
caused Andrews heart problem and we were told that with both these conditions that Andrew could not
survive.
One week later on the 6th jan 2008,I was induced.I was in labour for 8 1/2 hrs.Andrew was born at
6.20pm,he weighed 1lb 14oz.He gave a big gasp,but didn't really breathe much.We felt his heart
beating,but at 6.32pm his heart stopped.
He looked perfect,except for some bruising.He was beautiful and looked just like his big brother
when he was a baby.
4 days later on the 10th Jan,Andrew was buried beside his great great grandparents,great
grandparents and their daughter,margaret who had died aged 3 days.We wanted him to be with his
family,so he wasn't on his own.
We love and miss Andrew so much.He will always be in our hearts.

A huge thank you to all my sands and gts friends who have lit so many candles and left so many kind
words.It means so much to me.Love lindsey xxx

☆ A SHINING STAR ☆

When I had to leave you
I didn't go too far
Look up to the Heavens
Im a Brillant shining star
May this light show you
As it glistens from above
A very special thank~you
When you lifted me with love

A little star that brightly shines
A star thats free from pain
Held gently in God's loving arms
Until we meet again

As you go on your journey
Be the best that you can be
And know that God is there for you
As he is here for me

When we miss each other
And what each other near
You shine your light upon the earth
And I'll shine my light up here
So we will always remember
When we seem so far apart
To shine our lights together
With love upon our hearts

Tribute for this weekend
Candles will be lit as usual
On Sunday For Monday


To All Parents

“I’ll lend you for a little time
A child of mine,” He said.
“For you to love the while they live
And mourn when they are dead,

“It may be six or seven years,
Or twenty-two or three.
“But will you, till I call them back,
Take care of them for me?

“They’ll bring their charms to gladden you,
But should their stay be brief,
“You’ll have their lovely memories,
As solace for your grief,

“I cannot promise they will stay,
Since all from earth return,
“But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn.

“I’ve looked the wide world over
In my search for teachers true,
“And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes
I have selected you.

“Now will you give them all your love,
Nor think the labour vain,
“Nor hate me when I come to call
To take them back again?

I fancied that I heard them say:
Dear Lord, Thy will be done!
“For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
The risk of grief we’ll run.

We’ll shelter them with tenderness:
We’ll love them while we may,
And for happiness we’ve known
Forever grateful stay.

“But should the angels call for them
Much sooner than we’d planned.
“We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand.”


Tomorrow

If I should go tomorrow
It would never be goodbye,
For I have left my heart with you,
So don't you ever cry.

The love that's deep within me,
Shall reach you from the stars,
You'll feel it from the heavens,
And it will heal the scars.


Love Lives On

Those we love remain with us
For love itself lives on,
And cherished memories never fade
Because a loved one's gone.

Those we love can never be
More than a thought apart,
Far as long as there is memory,
They'll live on in the heart.

When We Remember

You can shed tears that they are gone
Or you can smile because they have lived
You can close your eyes
And pray that they’ll come back

Or you can open your eyes
And see all they have left
Your heart can be empty
Because you can’t see them

Or you can be happy for tomorrow
Because of yesterday.
You can remember them
And only that they have gone

Or you can cherish their memory
And let it live on
You can cry and close your mind,
Be empty and turn your back

Or you can do what they wanted:
SMILE,
Open your eyes,
LOVE
And go on.

To my child.

To My Child

Just
for this morning, I am going to smile when I see your face and laugh when
I feel like crying.
Just
for this morning, I will let you choose what you want to wear, and smile
and say how perfect it is.
Just
for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry, and pick you up and
take you to the park to play.
Just
for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the sink, and let you teach
me how to put that puzzle of yours together.
Just
for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off,
and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles..
Just
for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you
scream and whine for the ice cream truck, and I will buy you one if he
comes by.
Just
for this afternoon, I won't worry about what you are going to be when you
grow up, or second guess every decision I have made where you are
concerned.
Just
for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies, and I won't stand
over you trying to fix them.
Just
for this afternoon, I will take us to McDonald's and buy us both a Happy
Meal so you can have both toys..
Just
for this evening, I will hold you in my arms and tell you a story about
how you were born and how much I love you.
Just
for this evening, I will let you splash in the tub and not get angry.

Just
for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit on the porch
and count all the stars.
Just
for this evening, I will snuggle beside you for hours, and miss my
favorite TV shows.
Just
for this evening when I run my finger through your hair as you pray, I
will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever
given.
I will think about
the mothers and fathers who are searching for their missing children, the
mothers and fathers who are visiting their children's graves instead of
their bedrooms, and mothers and fathers who are in hospital rooms watching
their children suffer senselessly, and screaming inside that they can't
handle it anymore.
And when I kiss you goodnight I will
hold you a little tighter, a little longer. It is then, that I will thank
God for you, and ask him for nothing, except one more day...

Tribute Is For This Weekend


Candles Might Not Be Lit Until Monday Next Week It's My Birthday On Saturday So I Will Be Missing Christopher Even More Than Usual... Bless Him X


Grief Is Like A River

My grief is like a river,
I have to let it flow,
But I myself determine
Just where the banks will go.

Some days the current takes me
In waves of guilt and pain,
But there are always quiet pools
Where I can rest again.

I crash on rocks of anger;
My faith seems faint indeed,
But there are other swimmers
Who know that what I need

Are loving hands to hold me
When the waters are too swift,
And someone kind to listen
When I just seem to drift.

Grief's river is a process
Of relinquishing the past.
By swimming in hope's channels,
I'll reach the shore at last.



If I Knew


If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
And pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
That I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
And call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
So I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
To stop and say "I love you,"
Instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
So I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow
To make up for an oversight,
And we always get a second chance
To make everything just right.

There will always be another day
To say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance to say
Our "Anything I can do?"

But just in case I might be wrong,
And today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
And I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
Young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
You get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
Why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
You'll surely regret the day,

That you didn't take that extra time
For a smile, a hug, or a kiss
And you were too busy to grant someone,
What turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,
And whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
And that you'll always hold them dear

Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
You'll have no regrets about today.

Tribute For This Weekend


Candles will be lit as usual on Sunday for Monday



I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for all the candles, tributes and photographs they have taken the time to leave on Christopher’s Website they are very much appreciated I read every single one.
I Love And Miss Him So Much.

Thanks again Angela X



Love is like a butterfly;
It goes where it pleases
And pleases wherever it goes.


The best and most beautiful
Things in the world cannot
Be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart


The Watcher

You always leaned to watch for us
Anxious if we were late,
In winter by the window,
In summer by the gate.

And though we mocked you tenderly
Who had such foolish care,
The long way home would seem more safe,
Because you waited there.

Your thoughts were all so full of us,
You never could forget,
And so I think that where you are
You must be watching yet.

Waiting ‘til we come home to you
Anxious if we are late
Watching from Heaven’s window
Leaning from Heaven’s gate.


To Those Whom I Love and Those Who Love Me


When I am gone, release me, let me go
I have so many things to see and do
You must not tie yourself to me with tears
Be happy that I have had so many years

I gave you my love, you can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness
I think you for the love each have shown
But now it is time I traveled on alone

So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust
It is only for a while that we must part
So bless the memories in your heart

I will not be far away, for life goes on
So if you need me, call and I will come
Though you can not see or touch me,
I will be near and if you listen with your heart,

You will hear all of my love around you
Soft and clear then, when you must come this way alone I will greet you with a smile and a
"Welcome Home"



Friends Are Like Angels,


Who brighten our days.
In all kinds of wonderful,
Magical ways.
Their thoughtfulness comes,

As a gift from above.
And we feel we're surrounded,
By warm, caring love.
Like upside-down rainbows,

Their smiles bring the sun.
And they fill ho-hum moments,
With laughter and fun.
Friends are like angels,

Without any wings.
Blessing our lives,
With the most precious thing

This Tribute Is For This Weekend

Candles Will Be Lit Again As Usual On Sunday For Monday


Message from Heaven

I still hear the songs
I still see the lights
I still feel your love
I still share your hopes
And all of your cares
I'll even remind you
To please say your prayers

I just want to tell you
You still make me proud
You stand head and shoulders
Above the crowd
Keep trying each moment
To stay in his grace

I came here before you
To help set your place
You don't have to be
Perfect all of the time
He forgives you the slip
If you continue to climb

To my family and friends
Please be thankful today
I'm still close beside you
In a new special way
As I am now beside Jesus
In the heaven’s above

Please take care of each other
I send you my love

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

"Angel"

Tear drops, slow and steady,
The pain so real and true,
God took another angel,
And that angel, dear, was you.

Memories and little prayers,
We all are mourning you,
But we’ll celebrate the short life you led;
We will never forget you.

I know God will look after you,
Now you are truly alive,
Your spirit soars beyond the moon,
Your legacy will survive.

You’re beautiful, you’re endless,
Now stretch your wings and fly,
We love you so, I love you so,
But now we say goodbye.

Close your pretty eyes,
No more tears, just go and rest,
Let your soul lie peacefully,
We know you did your best.

It was your time, so as we cry,
Go forward that extra mile,
You did what you were sent to do,
You made everybody smile.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

“The Best”

God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around you
And He whispered “Come to Me”

With tearful eyes we watched you.
We watched you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard-working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He chose to take the best.

It’s lonesome here without you
We miss you more each day.
Life doesn’t seem the same
Since you have gone away.

When days are sad and lonely
And everything goes wrong,
We seem to hear you whisper
“Cheer Up and Carry On”

Each time we see your picture
You seem to smile and say,
“Don’t cry, I’m in God’s hands,
We’ll meet again someday!”

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

The moment that you died
Our hearts were torn in two,
One side filled with memories,
The other died with you.

We often lie awake at night,
When the world is fast asleep,
And take a walk down memory lane,
With tears upon our cheeks.

Remembering you is easy,
We do it everyday,
But missing you is heartache
That never goes away.

It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

We miss you in so many ways,
We miss the things you used to say,
And when old times we do recall,
It’s then we miss you most of all.

We miss you now, our hearts are sore,
As time goes by we miss you more,
Your loving smile, your gentle face,
No one can fill your vacant place.
